Vortex

Vortex flow meters utilize the smallest strut in the industry, which allows for high levels of sensitivity; superior performance at low flow rates; high turndown ratios; and low pressure drop. Through the use of an internal RTD and an external pressure sensor (optional), the flow meter software will compensate for changes in pressure and temperature, to achieve an accurate mass flow measurement (gas meters).

Vortex flow meters are suitable for measuring steam as well as a variety of liquids and gases. As fluid moves across a vortex meter shedder bar, vortices form. The frequency of the vortices shedding is proportional to the fluid velocity.
